Water-lover and river-enthusiast, Timothy's been paddling around Wisconsin and adjacent states since 2008. Always eager to explore the obscure, he's got a lot of wanderlust for secret places and memorable escapes (though sometimes that wanderlust gets him lost at night or capsized in winter).

When not already on the water, Timothy is poring over maps to plan out his next trip, sometimes alone, sometimes with friends, sometimes in a solo canoe with his Boston Terrier. He has been a proud part of the MilesPaddled.com website since 2010, and his first paddling guidebook came out in August 2016, A native of suburban New Jersey (exit 159), he has gladly called the Upper Midwest home for half of his life now.
